#Ufs explorer raid recovery 5 software
Immediately two new "drives" showed up on the Ubuntu desktop.With Network Attached Storage or NAS for short becoming more popular, the demand for quality DIY solutions for NAS data recovery software increases. This command writes the changes listed by the previous command.ĩ. Instead it examines the iscsi volume group and lists what changes it would make. The above command does not write any changes. Kpartx looks for and creates device maps from partition tables.

As per ion-ral's suggestion at () I installed kpartx did the following: My iscsi volume group was located in /dev/vg0/iscsi0.Ĩ. Verified that my lvm physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes existed with pvdisplay, vgdisplay, and lvdisplay (respectivelly).ħ. Verified that my raid showed up in /dev as md? (in my case, my raid 5 set was /dev/md1 and I had another Raid 1 set /dev/md0).Ħ. During boot, (had to keep pressing ESC key otherwise would freeze at purple screen) was asked if I wanted to start the Raid in "Degraded" mode. Installed 4 of my 5 "Raid 5" disks, and booted.Ĥ.

Installed Ubuntu 13.04 on an extra pc (I initially tried the Live CD/USB, but couldn't make it work).ģ. In fact if you need to recover the iscsi target itself, (i.e. It does not reconfigure the iscsi target(s). Warning: The following circumvents the iscsi configuration. Note: the following just recovers the data on an iscsi target. Here's what I did to recover the data on the iscsi target. Had a NAS, Raid 5, with one iscsi target. I just recovered from a similar scenario. I have been examining the drives/situation with mdadm, open-iscsi, and iscsiadm, but I'm unsure of what info is useful/relevant to post. I've been researching the forums here the past few days, but haven't been able to find a similar situation or to piece together relevant info from various posts, so I figured I would ask. Md2 - 2.1GB RAID 1 Array - also says swap space Md1 - 6.0TB RAID 5 Array - says not partitioned Md0 - 2.1GB RAID 1 Array - says swap space Vg0 - 6TB LVM2 Volume Group: this is where I can see the 3 iSCSI partitions as unrecognized, 5 partitions in total and 2.1TB free space The RAID shows up in multi-disk devices, although there are 5 of them (?): I am able to see all of the drives in Disk Utility and Webmin - including the iSCSI targets, although they show up as "unrecognized" in Disk Utility.


I haven't used any distro of linux in several years, so I'm quite rusty.
#Ufs explorer raid recovery 5 install
I was unable to actually recover the data or to create a usable disk image as it had an unknown file format/filesystem (I can't remember the exact error).įrom here, I gave up on Windows and did a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 (on a new/blank drive) to see what I could come up with there. Using the recover lost data function of UFS, I was able to see previews of the data on 1 of the unknown partitions (I only tried the 1), so I think it's safe to say the data is there and healthy(?). I tried UFS Explorer RAID Recovery (read-only software) and was able to see the intact RAID with appropriate ext partitions as well as 3 "unknown partitions" - assuming the iSCSI targets (good news, I think). The drives appeared in disk management but were uninitialized (and I left them that way). I popped the drives into my PC (Windows 7) hoping for a miracle. I have backups of all of the data except for what's on 1 of the iSCSI targets (poor choice, I know). I RMAd the Thecus and am now left with these 4 drives (originally 4 2TB, the failed drive was replaced with a 3TB) - one of which is empty as the rebuild never even occurred. Short version is drive 2 in the array failed, so I inserted a new drive to rebuild and during the rebuild, drive 4 disappeared (it didn't fail, it was just gone from the array - and later on I found the data was intact).
#Ufs explorer raid recovery 5 pro
I originally had a Thecus n4200pro with a 4-drive RAID 5 array, on this I had 3 iSCSI targets (which may not have been the best idea) which I initiated on a mac pro (10.6.8) - also had ext3 partition and 2.1TB unallocated. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! It's a bit of a long story, but I'll try to include only relevant info.
